Which People Will Make Up the Biden Administration?

 Which People Will Make Up the Biden Administration?

Excerpt: I feel as if I haven’t heard as much speculation about a Biden cabinet and administration posts in the past month, and that strikes me as an ominous sign about what to expect if a Biden presidency comes to pass. Your mileage may vary, but broadly speaking, the Establishment Democrats are less of a potential menace to conservatives than the radical outsiders. The establishment wants the status quo with higher taxes and more spending — with gobs upon gobs of opportunities for lobbying firms to rake in the cash to ensure the legislation protects every imaginable faction, industry, and business. (Great news: Lobbyists are allowed to work for the Biden transition team!) The radicals want to tear up the Constitution, overhaul every aspect of American society, and ban farting cows. The establishment tends to be self-interested and insufferably enthusiastic about the nanny state, but competent by government standards. The radicals cannot differentiate between theory and reality, have little sense of how the world actually works, relish the idea of using the power of government to punish those who disagree with them, and generally are an even greater menace to everyone because of their incompetence. With the establishment, you get someone like Michael Bloomberg. With the radicals, you get someone like Bill de Blasio.
